Planning my first trip to Munich in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.
My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?
I'm coming from Canada and have experience in Latin America but this would be my first time in Munich.
Thanks for any help!
Munich — rainy season worth going?

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $52/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.
